By IND vs PAK Live Score from ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Today, June 9: Cricket’s, arguably, greatest rivalry resumes today with India and Pakistan locking horns in a Group A clash of the T20 World Cup 2024 in New York.
The coin goes up finally, and it is Pakistan skipper Babar Azam who wins the toss and elects to bowl first as India and Pakistan clash heads at the marquee encounter of the tournament.
The build-up of an Indo-Pak contest is usually dominated by potential match-ups and how the team that doesn’t overawed by the event will come out with flying colours. However, this time around an equal, if not more, focus has been kept on the pitch which will play host to the marquee contest at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium. India captain Rohit Sharma on the match eve quipped how even the pitch curator isn’t aware how the surface will behave on a particular given day.
The pitch has been amiable to fast bowling and uneven bounce which has sparked concerns over players’ safety. Rohit was copped a blow to his arm during India’s tournament opener and it forced him to retire hurt. Rishabh Pant was hit multiple times too thanks to the variable bounce on offer. The ICC has been working to ‘fix’ the pitch and there’s hope the surface will provide an even contest between the bat and the ball.
The last time India and Pakistan clashed in a T20 World Cup, it produced an instant classic with Virat Kohli playing one of the greatest innings in the format’s history. India recovered from 31/4 at the MCG to chase down 160 thanks to Kohli’s epic 82*. Will Sunday produce another thriller?
